We went today, not a single performance boat at all.

Totally lame. The RV's are fun to look at though.

L.A. Boat show coming up here in less than a month I think and was very weak last year. Will be interesting to see if more exhibitors and manufacturers show up this year with the ever so slight uptick in the economy.
